Delightful Dozen Birthday Card

This card features the Happy Birthday stamp from the Delightful Dozen set, which features a variety of stamps for occasions throughout the year.  The Tasteful Trim die was used for the three accents on the left and the base panel was embossed with the square lattice folder.

Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punched Frame

This card features a frame made using the dotted scallop ribbon punch.  The idea came from Dawn Olchefske's blog.  The cool thing is that you can use any of the border punches to create a great frame!  The image is from the Bring on the Cake set in the Occasions mini catalog. 

Thanks from a Friend

This was a thank you card received from Patty, one of our best friends who was visiting us last weekend from Nebraska.  The bright color combination she used is so cheerful!  The Old Olive background was embossed with the square lattice folder.  The sentiment is from the Word Play set, and the star image is from the FREE Sale-a-Bration set So Happy for You.  It is finished off with some 1 1/4" Daffodil Delight striped grosgrain ribbon and a designer button. 

Embossed Texture Birthday Card

Scot's younger son, Landon, celebrated his 14th birthday last Thursday, 2/17, and this is the card that Kira made for him.  It features the Bring on the Cake set from the Occasions mini catalog.  The entire background with all of the stars and larger circle were run through the Big Shot using the square lattice embossing folder. 

Petal "Ice Cream" Cone Card

This card was CASE'd from fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Angie Juda-Kennedy(Chic' n Scratch)  It shows one of the many uses for the new Petal Cone die in the Occasions mini catalog.  The sentiment is from the A Word for You set and punched out with the Decorative Label punch.

Butterfly Bliss

This card incorporates more of the items that are available for FREE during Sale-a-Bration.  The coordinating ribbon and buttons are part of the Ice Cream Parlor ribbon & button pack.  The butterflies were stamped with an image from the Sale-a-Bration exclusive Bliss set and then punched with the butterfly punch. The sentiment comes from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.

Welcome Baby Card

This adorable image is included in the Punch Bunch set, that is one of the exclusive sets that Stampin' Up is offering for FREE during Sale-a-Bration through the end of March!  The Welcome Baby image coordinates perfectly with the Large Tag punch and can then be layered on a piece of cardstock punched out with the XL Tag punch.  

In Color Thank You Card

This card pairs two of the wonderful In Colors, Concord Crush and Peach Parfait, along with the Just Believe stamp set and the Big Shot.  The Whisper White background was embossed with the square lattice folder and the scalloped square was die cut with the scallop squares duo Bigz die.  Punches used were the ticket corner, word window, modern label, and corner rounder.  Basic rhinestones embellish the corners of the scalloped square.

Friends Forever

This card was created with the Just Believe stamp set.  The color scheme is clean and simple - Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla.  The Top Note die and Square Lattice embossing folders add shape and texture.  We would have to guess that any friend would be happy to receive this card to let them know they are special.

Thanksgiving Place Cards and Napkin Rings

We recently purchased the Tasteful Trim Bigz XL Sizzix die from the Holiday mini catalog, and it seemed to lend itself nicely to this fall project - place cards and napkin rings for Thanksgiving dinner.  The place cards are just a 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" piece of Early Espresso cardstock folded in half, then we put a piece of square lattice embossed Cajun Craze cardstock on top.  The wavy strip of Autumn Spice specialty designer series paper was cut using the Tasteful Trim die.  The initials were stamped using the Monogram Sweet alphabet set.  The napkin rings were made using the Autumn Spice paper die cut with the Tasteful Trim die and accented with a piece of Early Espresso 5/8" satin ribbon.
